Just jumped into paper trading! Made $962!

Just jumped into paper trading! I am a total newbie to futures and loving ability to trade after hours! So, I just started real paper trading two days ago and just forced myself to start taking trades, with only 1 contract at a time. But I was watching it and got in out of trades within an hour or two. I was learning a lot by just watching the market and seeing where things were going (the day before I tried a few my first time on paper with lame positions and was down about $300 but just took the trades to practice).

Yesterday focused on trading for the afternoon and evening and wow there is so much truth to pushing those buttons and learning along the way (2nd day of paper) and made $962 last night!!! I entered one trade at 12:30am and in 30 minutes made $600 on 2 contracts, sweet!

Oh yeah, I did what Jeff taught us to and the day before I went live with paper trading (3 days ago), I invested about 10 hours and looked at the last 2 weeks of trades and found 13 trades over 7 days that if I would have entered and exited on only one contract, I would have made $17,757 (give or take what would have been real with decisions being different not knowing where it would go)! That really taught me a lot thought just to look at the math and the charts.

I mapped out the entry and exit points and charted them on the graph so I could be clear on what I was looking at. And put all the math next to the chart. Then felt confident to start paper trading 2 days ago.

Thank you, Jeff for showing us these amazing futures, so our future is secure!!! It is my goal to be skilled enough to go after the $250k in the next 4 weeks (would be sooner but I have my next 6 TV shows to write and film at Yosemite National Forest in CA in two weeks, so that must be my #1 priority and #2 is futures - which is funding the TV show production on National TV!).

Let’s do this! Our future is SO bright, we gotta wear shades!!! We are all going to crush this together!!! Thank you Jeff for being an amazing teacher and leader and thanks Roy for firing us all up!!!
